Game Description
"One of my favorite games from childhood."
This is my attempt at cloning the "Balloon Trip" mode (Game Mode C) from Nintendo's Balloon Fight for Pico-8. While I use the word "clone," I haven't studied the original game in detail, just played it a lot since the late '80s. And later also Balloon Kid on the Game Boy. Great games!
Like all good ideas, this turned out to be much more work than I originally expected! And as usual, I could change the small things forever. But I should be making better sounds and music. Damn music!
I relied heavily on Denote by @bikibird, since I can only "see" music in the form of sheet music. My brain just doesn't click with trackers, so making music directly in the Pico-8 tracker (and all other trackers) is really difficult for me. Sorry about the mess on that department. :/
Along with the music, I took other creative freedoms as well. Most important: This game has ending! Our little balloonists (or Balloon Fighter) can now land. Try to get that far and land on the platform!
Thank you for playing. :)
